Happy hours!?

Yea just a quick question and a thought.

1-2pm

6-7pm

11-12am

These are tha happy hours in place and somethimes theres a bonus one for a longer period.

I no im not alone in this but i play at stupid o clock in the morning basically same time the bats are out eg.

Ino the traffic is not very good early hours in the morning but i think it would be good if sky would introduce a 4th happy hour maybe from 3-4am?.

Reason i say this theres alot of ppl who work 10 hours days and cant make the first 2 happy hours or even so cant play through the day and i think this puts a downer on things.

So yea id like to see sky introduce another happy hour and maybe that would boost the traffic for that time period which is usually between 2-7am

Inputs be good thankyou

    it wouldnt work imo, people who work 10 hours a day aint gonna hang around to play a happy hour at 3am when theres every chance they need sleep before they go to work the nxt day. so i believe sticking a happy hour on then would serve no purpose in inviting players to play.

    but it would give those players who do keep it going at that time i little thank you and chance to get a few extra points 

    hope they do put 1 in for you all

    Nevermind an extra happy hour, just change the stupid thing from 6pts per pound for cash players to 10pts for every pound raked, never seen such biased nonsense

    i'll leave you with this thought and see if you think that way.

    for every £ paid in rake/fees in stt/mtt you get 10 points.
    for every £ raked on cash tables you get 6 points, during happy hour that rises to 9.

    so even during happy hour a cash players £ in rake is still worth less than a stt/mtt player rake/fee

    i see it as "this is when i play, can you cater for me" kinda comment without thinking about the proper reasons why traffic is low at that time of day

    Thx for the replies guys.

    Yea the 6points per £1 rake is a bit strange but to be fair im not complaining i earn points much easier now than i ever did.

    Maybe the reason for having it lower thant stt/mtt eg is due to cash having happy hours and early bird promos when the stt/mtt doesnt have this.

    Your right tin tin i kinda put my post out a bit wrong to be fair what i ment is those who cant play through the day like me i like to play at night as i find the games easier and i think there should be some form of promo for thos who do play early hours in the morning as there is usually only a small few tables to each level mostly never filled which makes earning points much harder.

    Thankyou
